You and me both! Thanks for asking, I wasn't sure anyone would want to discuss it. 

My guess was maybe a homemade trailer with supports to assist in loading the car onto the bed. 

At first glance the item in the trailer looks like the framework for a large church bell. This photo of a captured moment time has a lot of mysteries.

Dr. Robert H. Goddard tows his rocket to the launching tower behind a Model A Ford truck, 15 miles northwest of Roswell, New Mexico. 1930- 1932. Dr. Goddard has been recognized as the "Father of American Rocketry" and as one of three pioneers in the theoretical exploration of space. Robert Hutchings Goddard was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, on October 15, 1882. He was a theoretical scientist as well as a practical engineer. His dream was the conquest of the upper atmosphere and ultimately space through the use of rocket propulsion. Dr. Goddard, who died in 1945, was probably as responsible for the dawning of the Space Age as the Wright Brothers were for the begining of the Air Age. Yet his work attracted little serious attention during his lifetime. When the United States began to prepare for the conquest of space in the 1950's, American rocket scientists began to recognize the debt owed to the New England professor. They discovered that it was virtually impossible to construct a rocket or launch a satellite without acknowledging the work of Dr. Goddard. This great legacy was covered by more than 200 patents, many of which were issued after his death.

That A looks to be a late T.

Three-quarter right front view of Den-Gro 1912 Monoplane on the ground at White Plains, New York, 1912. Designer and builder Arthur V. Denehy stands on lower fuselage struts at left side of nose of aircraft. Inset photo at top left corner shows Denehy in an unidentified automobile; oval inset at top right is bust portrait photograph of Denehy in fireman's uniform with hat (probably Union Hook and Ladder Company, White Plains, New York). Main photo by "S. F. C.", White Plains, New York, 1912, others unknown.

" Los Angeles, Cal. - Celebrating the opening of Foreign Trade Week, pretty University of S. California co-eds donned costumes of the countries with which the city trades by sea, and held picturesque ceremonies aboard incoming ships. Photo shows: The co-eds, attired in colorful costumes of foreign lands, ready to welcome incoming ships. 'Miss Czechoslovakia' (Muriel Phelps) is seated on the bumper, Inga Gerup as 'Miss Scotland' is just behind her, and Dorothy Piles as 'Miss Germany' is at the right."
